Dr. Crankshaw, thank you so, so much for your comforting words and assurance despite the fact the infection has a mortality rate that can exceed 90% Both you and your staff were exemplary in your professionalism. My girls and I would have been devastated without him. Your treatment showed a remarkable change by the end of the day. A picture of him Chillin' to Christmas tunes. Again... Thank you."

***update*** The…read moredoctor personally called me later that day, after everything had happened, to explain that there had been a miscommunication and that multiple emergencies had come in, even though we had an appointment. He sincerely apologized for not being able to see us, and that meant a lot to me. I do wish I had known about the issue beforehand, instead of having nothing explained to me at the time--but I understand. ***Issue*** I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Animal Ark of Arcadia. Until now, I've always had fantastic service here, and I've never had a single issue. Unfortunately, that changed today. I received a call yesterday confirming that my cat's appointment was at 2:20 PM and my dog's was at 2:00 PM. Based on that, my daughter and I made specific plans: she took the dog to the 2:00 appointment, and I drove all the way from Northport to bring the cat for her 2:20 appointment. At 2:17 PM, I was notified that the cat's appointment had to be rescheduled. This was incredibly frustrating and inconvenient, especially after driving a long distance just to make it on time. The front office then claimed the cat's appointment was at 2:00 -- but both the appointment card and the voicemail message clearly said 2:20. I understand that mistakes happen, but this miscommunication caused unnecessary stress and wasted time. I hope Animal Ark of Arcadia takes this kind of feedback seriously and improves how they handle scheduling and confirmations in the future.

My dog Jix cut herself to the muscle shortly after we had just moved to Arcadia and we hadn't set up with a new vet here. Not only did they cram us in to stitch up my poor puppy but they were so understanding and kind despite us throwing a wrench in their day. Nix received great care and was good as new when we picked her up after she woke up. They also followed up with us when my husband missed their call. Not to mention they were so affordable ! We will be using them for all of our dogs and cats from now on, life savers !

The thoughtfulness and all the amazing pups who are lucky enough to hang out there are what sets Ohilda apart from the rest.

Knowing they're safe is the upmost important aspect of Ohilda's superb service!

I have two rescues that I affectionately refer to as being special needs. I know that Chloe will personalize care for them. She is in regular communication, including sending photos and videos, while I'm away. She has excellent judgement about their socialization needs, given their backgrounds and dispositions, and they come home a bit more ease around other dogs than before they left. I also like that I am supporting a business that provides direct care to homeless dogs through Farm Dog Fosters Sanctuary. And her prices are very reasonable.
